The first lens element can have positive refractive power and can havean object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region thereof.Therefore, the sufficient light converging ability can be provided andthe strength of the positive refractive power can be adjusted so as toreduce the total track length of the photographing optical lens system.Furthermore, the object-side surface of the first lens element caninclude at least one concave critical point in an off-axial regionthereof. Therefore, it is favorable for the incident light from largerfield of view traveling into the photographing optical lens system so asto obtain the arrangement of wide field of view.

The second lens element with positive refractive power has an image-sidesurface being convex in a paraxial region thereof. Therefore, thearrangement with the compact size and large field of view can beobtained.

The third lens element can have negative refractive power, and can havean object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region thereof, andhas an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof.Therefore, aberrations generated from the first lens element and thesecond lens element can be corrected. Furthermore, the image-sidesurface of the third lens element can include at least one convexcritical point in an off-axial region thereof. Therefore, it isfavorable for the incident light from larger field of view travelinginto the photographing optical lens system so as to obtain thearrangement of wide field of view.

The fourth lens element with negative refractive power has anobject-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof.Therefore, the main negative refractive power of the photographingoptical lens system can be positioned closer to the image surface, sothat the photosensitivity can be reduced and astigmatism can becorrected.

The fifth lens element with positive refractive power can have anobject-side surface being convex in a paraxial region thereof, and hasan image-side surface being convex in a paraxial region thereof.Therefore, the arrangement of the positive refractive power of thephotographing optical lens system can be balanced so as to enhance imagequality.

The sixth lens element with negative refractive power has an image-sidesurface being concave in a paraxial region thereof. Therefore, theprincipal point can be positioned closer to the object side, so that theback focal length can be reduced for better controlling the total tracklength. Furthermore, the image-side surface of the sixth lens elementincludes at least one convex critical point in an off-axial regionthereof, so that off-axial aberrations can be corrected for enhancingimage quality on the peripheral region thereof.

When a focal length of the third lens element is f3, and a focal lengthof the fourth lens element is f4, the following condition is satisfied:−4.0<f4/|f3|. Therefore, the main negative refractive power can bepositioned closer to the image surface by reducing the refractive powerof the third lens element, so that the negative refractive power wouldnot be positioned too close to the imaged object which may causeexcessive sensitivity in the manufacturing tolerance of the third lenselement and may limit its field of view due to the lens shapeconfiguration of the third lens element. Preferably, the followingcondition can be satisfied: −1.5<f4/|f3|. More preferably, the followingcondition can be satisfied: −1.0<f4/|f3|. More preferably, the followingcondition can be satisfied: −0.80<f4/|f3|.

When an axial distance between the third lens element and the fourthlens element is T34, and an axial distance between the fifth lenselement and the sixth lens element is T56, the following condition issatisfied: T56/T34<1.0. Therefore, it is favorable for avoidingassembling problems of thin lens elements such as the third lens elementand the fourth lens element, being too close to each other, so that themanufacturability of the photographing optical lens system can beenhanced. Preferably, the following condition can be satisfied:T56/T34<0.40.

When a curvature radius of an object-side surface of the second lenselement is R3, and a curvature radius of the image-side surface of thesecond lens element is R4, the following condition is satisfied:−0.70<(R3+R4)/(R3−R4). Therefore, the arrangement of the second lenselement is favorable for the incident light from larger field of viewtraveling into the photographing optical lens system, and aberrationsgenerated from the first lens element can be corrected to improve imagequality. Preferably, the following condition can be satisfied:0.50<(R3+R4)/(R3−R4)<4.0. More preferably, the following condition canbe satisfied: 1.0≤(R3+R4)/(R3−R4)<4.0.

When a focal length of the photographing optical lens system is f, afocal length of the fifth lens element is f5, and a focal length of thesixth lens element is f6, the following condition is satisfied:3.75<(f/f5)+|f/f6|<7.5. Therefore, the main refractive power of thephotographing optical lens system can be positioned toward the imagesurface so as to enable light converging favorably on the image surface.

When a focal length of the first lens element is f1, a focal length ofthe second lens element is f2, and the focal length of the fifth lenselement is f5, the following condition is satisfied:0.25<(f5/f1)+(f5/f2)<0.75. Therefore, the main positive refractive powerof the photographing optical lens system can be positioned toward theimage surface so as to provide the arrangement of large field of viewand reduce the photosensitivity of the first lens element and the secondlens element effectively.

When a sum of axial distances between every two of the lens elements ofthe photographing optical lens system that are adjacent to each other isΣAT, and the axial distance between the third lens element and thefourth lens element is T34, the following condition is satisfied:1.0<ΣAT/T34<2.0. Therefore, the compact arrangement among the lenselements can be ensured so as to utilize space effectively forminiaturization.

When a curvature radius of the object-side surface of the third lenselement is R5, a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the thirdlens element is R6, and the focal length of the photographing opticallens system is f, the following condition is satisfied:0.80<(R5+R6)/f<2.0. Therefore, it is favorable for reducing aberrationsof the first lens element and the second lens element with the meniscusshape of the third lens element.

When an Abbe number of the third lens element is V3, an Abbe number ofthe fourth lens element is V4, and an Abbe number of the fifth lenselement is V5, the following condition is satisfied: (V3+V4)/V5<1.0.Therefore, it is favorable for balancing corrections of chromaticaberration and astigmatism.

The photographing optical lens system can further include an aperturestop located between the first lens element and the third lens element.When an f-number of the photographing optical lens system is Fno, thefollowing condition is satisfied: 1.20<Fno<2.45. Therefore, it isfavorable for balancing the brightness of the image surface and thedepth of field of the image so as to ensure sufficient illumination withhigh image clarity.

When the focal length of the first lens element is f1, the focal lengthof the second lens element is f2, the focal length of the third lenselement is f3, the focal length of the fourth lens element is f4, thefocal length of the fifth lens element is f5, the focal length of thesixth lens element is f6, and a focal length of the x-th lens element isfx, the following conditions are satisfied: |f5|<|fx|; and |f6|<|fx|,wherein x=1, 2, 3, 4. Therefore, the principal point can be positionedcloser to the image surface so as to provide a large field of view.

When a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the third lenselement is R6, a curvature radius of the object-side surface of thefourth lens element is R7, and the focal length of the photographingoptical lens system is f, the following condition is satisfied:(|R6|+|R7|)/f<1.50. Therefore, the imaging ability can be enhanced bythe aspheric characteristics of the third lens element and the fourthlens element.

When the focal length of the photographing optical lens system is f, anda curvature radius of the object-side surface of the sixth lens elementis R11, the following condition is satisfied: f/R11<0.60. Therefore, theexcessive variation of the surface shape of the sixth lens element canbe avoided which would generate ghost images and surface reflections.

When the focal length of the photographing optical lens system is f, anda vertical distance between a maximum effective radius position on theimage-side surface of the sixth lens element and an optical axis isSD62, the following condition is satisfied: 0.80<f/SD62<1.30. Therefore,the photographing optical lens system can provide the arrangements oflarge field of view and lens compactness.

Each of the aforementioned features of the photographing optical lenssystem can be utilized in numerous combinations, so as to achieve thecorresponding effects.

According to the photographing optical lens system of the presentdisclosure, the lens elements thereof can be made of glass or plasticmaterials. When the lens elements are made of glass materials, thedistribution of the refractive power of the photographing optical lenssystem may be more flexible to design. When the lens elements are madeof plastic materials, manufacturing costs can be effectively reduced.Furthermore, surfaces of each lens element can be arranged to beaspheric, since the aspheric surface of the lens element is easy to forma shape other than a spherical surface so as to have more controllablevariables for eliminating aberrations thereof, and to further decreasethe required amount of lens elements in the photographing optical lenssystem. Therefore, the total track length of the photographing opticallens system can also be reduced.

According to the photographing optical lens system of the presentdisclosure, each of an object-side surface and an image-side surface hasa paraxial region and an off-axial region. The paraxial region refers tothe region of the surface where light rays travel close to an opticalaxis, and the off-axial region refers to the region of the surface awayfrom the paraxial region. Particularly unless otherwise stated, when thelens element has a convex surface, it indicates that the surface can beconvex in the paraxial region thereof; when the lens element has aconcave surface, it indicates that the surface can be concave in theparaxial region thereof. According to the photographing optical lenssystem of the present disclosure, the refractive power or the focallength of a lens element being positive or negative may refer to therefractive power or the focal length in a paraxial region of the lenselement.

According to the photographing optical lens system of the presentdisclosure, the photographing optical lens system can include at leastone stop, such as an aperture stop, a glare stop or a field stop. Saidglare stop or said field stop is for eliminating the stray light andthereby improving the image resolution thereof.

According to the photographing optical lens system of the presentdisclosure, the image surface of the photographing optical lens system,based on the corresponding image sensor, can be flat or curved. Inparticular, the image surface can be a concave curved surface facingtowards the object side.

According to the photographing optical lens system of the presentdisclosure, an aperture stop can be configured as a front stop or amiddle stop. A front stop disposed between an object and the first lenselement can provide a longer distance between an exit pupil of thephotographing optical lens system and the image surface, and therebyobtains a telecentric effect and improves the image-sensing efficiencyof the image sensor, such as CCD or CMOS. A middle stop disposed betweenthe first lens element and the image surface is favorable for enlargingthe field of view of the photographing optical lens system and therebyprovides a wider field of view for the same.

According to the photographing optical lens system of the presentdisclosure, a critical point is a non-axial point of the lens surfacewhere its tangent is perpendicular to the optical axis, wherein a convexcritical point is a critical point located on a convex shape of the lenssurface, and the shape of the critical point (convex or concave) isdetermined by the positive or negative sign of the curvature at thecritical point.

According to the photographing optical lens system of the presentdisclosure, the photographing optical lens system can be applied to 3D(three-dimensional) image capturing applications, in products such asdigital cameras, mobile devices, digital tablets, smart TVs,surveillance systems, motion sensing input devices, driving recordingsystems, rearview camera systems, and wearable devices.

According to the present disclosure, an image capturing apparatus isprovided. The image capturing apparatus includes the aforementionedphotographing optical lens system and an image sensor, wherein the imagesensor is disposed on the image side of the aforementioned photographingoptical lens system, that is, the image sensor can be disposed on ornear the image surface of the aforementioned photographing optical lenssystem. By arranging the second lens element with positive refractivepower, the arrangement of lens compactness and large field of view canbe obtained. By reducing the refractive power of the third lens element,it is favorable for avoiding the negative refractive power beingpositioned too close to the imaged object, which may cause overlysensitive manufacturing tolerance of the third lens element, andavoiding limited field of view due to a poor lens shape configuration.Preferably, the image capturing apparatus can further include a barrelmember, a holder member or a combination thereof.

According to the present disclosure, an electronic device is provided,which includes the aforementioned image capturing apparatus. Preferably,the electronic device can further include but not limited to a controlunit, a display, a storage unit, a random access memory unit (RAM) or acombination thereof.
